Utility Box Made From Grill Cover TRACTORS Accessories Dennis Gingrich Gering Neb converted the lid of an old barbecue grill into a handy utility box that’s mounted on back of his Sears riding mower “I use this 18 hp tractor for a lot of different jobs other than mowing ” says Gingrich “Our farm has a windbreak of 70-year-old cedar trees that my dad planted and I’m gradually clearing brush and dead tree limbs away so I can mow under the trees I throw a chain around a bunch of cut-off limbs and this little tractor drags them away without complaint “One day I headed for the job site while trying to balance a chainsaw on the tractor’s floorboard a hedge clippers on my lap and a gas can between my knees It was obvious that I needed a better way to haul stuff “Then I spotted the lid off an old Weber barbecue grill and noticed the angle on front of the lid matched the angle of the apron on back of the tractor I drilled matching holes in the apron and grill lid then attached the lid to the tractor by bolting on a couple of reinforcing steel straps I also bolted a metal brace on back of the tractor above the hitch for support ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dennis Gingrich 910 Westwood Dr Gering Neb 69341 ph 308 436-5925; dkgingrich68@gmail com
